NVLDDMKM error weirdness, crashing Premiere ONLY when run as non-admin

Hi all,

Been dealing with some odd issues lately, that have recently gotten stranger. So, we are replacing older edit laptops with new HP Fury 15 G8s. I7-11850H, Nvidia T1200, 32GB ram, running Premiere 22.5. First, this particular laptop seemed to have more issues especially with videos downloaded from a web source (latakoo, using different encoding/file types rather than our standard). Still should work, but odd behavior like freezing, or distorted video..

Now, Premiere started immediately crashing when pressing New Project button. BUT, only when doing so as non-admin.. This generated several nvlddmkm errors:

InfoROM FS corrupt on inital load.

SPI read failure at address 144!

Error occurred on GPUID:100

I have reinstalled windows, deleted drivers with DDU, clean installed different versions of quadro drivers, reinstalled premiere.. Still get that same behavior. I could understand a defective GPU causing such issue.. But, to so specifically prohibit creating a new project, only non-admin ... WTF? Any ideas appreciated!
